Pouvez-vous gagner le trophée Conn Smythe même si votre équipe ne remporte pas la coupe Stanley ? (Par exemple, IF Florida est éliminé mais Bob est toujours clairement le favori même après la finale du SC) Ou est-ce qu’il n’est donné qu’au membre de l’équipe gagnante ?

Conn Smythe is all about the MVP on the winning team.
Kinda like you have to be on the Super Bowl team to get the SB MVP
The guy has single-handedly carried the Florida Panthers this playoffs.
Yes you can. It [has happened](https://thehockeywriters.com/history-conn-smythe-winners-in-losing-efforts/) five times:
* Roger Crozier – 1966 Detroit Red Wings
* Glenn Hall – 1968 St. Louis Blues
* Reggie Leach – 1976 Philadelphia Flyers
* Ron Hextall- 1987 Philadelphia Flyers
* Jean Sebastien Giguere – 2003 Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Notably, four of the five players on this list were goalies.
Giggy was the last to do it!
Let’s go Bob!!
What has not happened is someone winning it for their performance in say the first 3 rounds but were eliminated but a Stanley cup final loser has won 5 times.
I do not know if it’s even possible but I truly thought there was a chance of McDavid winning last year. If they had a stronger performance in the conference finals I stand by there was a chance at it if there’s no rules preventing it.
I’d go as far to say if Florida wins 3 more games even if they lose the finals in anything but a sweep Bobby is going to win the conn Smythe.
No one on Vegas has had a performance like that, Eichel is up there but he’s still a cog in the wheel.
Dallas same thing for the most part, Pavelski has had some stunning moments but they are evenly distributed as well.
Florida right now looks like atlas carrying the world and bobrovsky is atlas.
If Florida makes it to the finals, yes. If they’re eliminated prior to the finals then no. It will go to one of the teams in the finals.
They should stop giving it to a player on the losing team as an option. Make it a rule. I don’t want to see a player during one of the saddest professional moments of his life being forced to take a trophy he doesn’t want. Giguere looked suicidal when they made him go have his photo op with Bettman back in 2003.
Thankfully for him he did win a Cup later on.
Yes, Bobrovsky could win it. I’m rooting for Hintz, he has been phenomenal these playoffs.
Losing goalie CAN win it. Most recent was Giguère, he won it in 2003.
If he keeps going the way he’s going, not allowing more than 2 goals a game, how can you not pick the guy? He’s been unbelievable
He’s arguably not even the front runner on his own team. Matthew Tkachuk has been an absolute monster this postseason.
He kinda deserves it tbh. Dude’s a fucking madlad, there’s no denying that.
Who saying they won’t win?
Multiple people have done it. Seems like a really easy thing to research. Remember Hextall in ‘87? It was obvious he was the best through all his games.
Yes but it’s extremely rare, if Florida makes it to the finals he likely wins it
If the Panthers win the cup, do they still try to move Bobo?
